ERCIM

Membership at European Research Consortium for Informatics and Mathematics (ERCIM)

ERCIM aims to foster collaborative work within the European research community and development in the fields of computer science and applied mathematics. Furthermore the consortium is committed to increase the cooperation with European industry. It is based on fourteen leading European research establishments from different European countries.

As Switzerland has no national computer science research institute, SARIT became its representative in 1994. Membership promotes the participation of scientists in European research activities. In addition it gives them access to ERCIM grants for the exchange programme for European scientists as well as access to financial help for organizing conferences and workshops.

ERCIM provides access to its members and their activities including their research, the formation of working groups, the workshop sponsorship and the Fellowship-Programme.

The Fellowship-Programme was launched in 1990 to enable approximately ten young scientists from around the world to perform research at one of the ERCIM institutes. Applications are solicited twice a year, with a deadline of April 30 and September 30.

ERCIM publishes a periodical Newsletter "ERCIM News" as well as a wide variety of technical reports, workshop reports and the ERCIM brochure for general information.
